Clothing & Shoes

Classic T-shirts

With the new Classic Cycle T-shirt, you will be able to comply with at least one of Burger King’s rules (No shirt, no shoes, no service).

Engineered to exacting standards, our shirts are specifically designed to keep crumbs and spilled beverages off of your chest.

These shirts are designed to keep in a small amount of body heat, so you can walk around when it is 65 degrees and not catch cold. Tucked or not tucked, these shirts will not block your peripheral vision.

They will inform family members and literate strangers you come across in public that you are not necessarily “old” but perhaps “classic”, and that you visited Classic Cycle on Bainbridge Island once.

Lastly, our T-shirt comply with most public decency laws for preventing toplessness.

If you happen to be child-size or actually a child, we have shirts that will work for you as well. Junior-sized shirts are available in blaze orange or neon green in small, medium, and large.

Helmets

Wherever or however you ride, you need a bike helmet. We try to cover all of the different cyclists out there, and our helmet lines give you some great options.

Skate & BMX style

Full face for Downhill

If your favorite place to ride is the Kingston skate & bike park, or the skate bowl at Strawberry hill, then come get an Abus skate or street-style helmet.

If racing BMX indoors at the Peninsula track in Port Orchard is your thing, or you’re doing crazy stuff off-road at the Colonnade park in Seattle or Dry Hill in Port Angeles, then you need a full face helmet. We have some great options for you from Kali and 100% helmets.

Helmets for kids

Commuter helmets with lights

We have versatile mountain biking helmets from Kali, Lazer, and Louis Garneau. Theses helmets cover the back of your head a little better, so if you feel like trying to ride over that log pile on the trail, well, you just give it a whirl. By the way, a ”mountain bike helmet” usually just means a helmet with a visor, and helmet visors work great in Seattle weather. They keep the rain from dribbling on your nose.

Lazer o2 helmets

Enduro style helmets

For the road riders out there we have the latest styles and models from Lazer, Scott, Kali and POC as well as aero helmets for time trials and triathlons from Louis Garneau.

Last but not least, junior needs a helmet. We have helmets for little kids and toddlers. They aren’t too expensive, and they aren’t too heavy for little heads. They come in fun colors and styles guaranteed to please even the pickiest kids.

Cycling Shoes

Road shoes from Scott, Vittoria, Shimano, and Sidi

Chances are, you have feet. You probably don’t like pedaling barefoot either. Am I right?

We have casual-looking bike shoes that you can comfortably wear on the Seattle ferry, and even all day at work.

Shoes for commuting to work or for spin class

Scott shoes with boa closures undes $150

Sidi Dominators in men and womens sizes

We have ultra-light road racing shoes with the latest closure systems for your Sunday morning bike ride through Poulsbo.

We have rugged mountain bike shoes that will give you traction hiking in thick Port Gamble mud.

Sidi Genius 6.6 road

Sidi Genius Fit

Vittoria Classic

We have comfortable shoes that you can wear to your Silverdale spin class, and not have to change before hitting the weight room.

We even have waterproof and/or insulated cycling shoes from Sidi and Mavic. You’ll love them on those winter days when the cold rain threatens to turn your feet into ice cubes.

Bring your feet in to the shop and try on a few pair.

Classic Berets

Jaime modeling her beret

Not everyone wants to wear a baseball cap.

Our Classic wool beret is the perfect option.

Made of soft merino wool, it’s a bit warmer than a cotton cycling cap .

It’s more formal than a stocking cap. More dignified than a beanie.

There is no brim to get caught in the wind and blow off your head, so I’m calling it more aerodynamic than a cowboy hat.

Put a bottle of wine and a baguette in your bike basket, wear your beret, and people with think you’re exotic.

One size fits most, and it comes in a great color… Black.

Tifosi Eyewear

Tifosi sunglasses

Occasionally we have sunshine in the Pacific Northwest.

Be prepared for the clouds to break with Tifosi eyewear. All Tifosi models offer great eye protection from the sun’s harmful rays as well as protection from airborne debris while cycling. There are dozens of different styles and lens configurations. Choose your favorite model with a single lens, pick a model with photochromic lenses that darken in brighter light, or pick a version that comes with multiple lenses.

Tifosi offers all of this quality and style at about half the cost of other big brands. Model prices range from $30 to $70.

By the way, Tifosi now has a handful of models that come with 1.5 or 2.0 reader lenses on the bottom (so you can see the digits on your cycling computer).

Mavic Frost Winter Cycling Shoes

Mavic Drift winter shoes

The perfect cycling shoe for half of the year.

In the Pacific Northwest, we get to ride outside pretty comfortably for the entire year. If you’re like us, “pretty comfortably” in the winter usually means “I was pretty comfortable except for my feet.”

Why don’t you come try Mavic’s winter shoes? They’ll keep your feet dry and warm, without having to wrestle booties on over them. They’ll work in a heavy rain for about an hour (the same as a neoprene bootie), or for hours in our usual winter drizzle and showers. Coupled with wool Sockguy socks these shoes will keep your feet really comfortable in our typical 30-60 degree temperature range.

The Drift model works with recessed-style cleats (SPD, Time atac, Crank Brothers, Speedplay Frogs). Their road model, the Frost, works with exposed cleats (Look, Time, Speedplay, Shimano road).

Pryme 8 V2 Helmets

Only 290 grams with good ventilation

Want a full coverage skate-style helmet? Want one that isn’t unbearably hot and heavy?

Come in and try one of our Pryme V2 helmets. They’re really light at only 290 grams (the average skater-style helmet runs around 450 grams). They’re slim-fitting and have good ventilation, and come with extra pads to customize the fit.

Pryme V2 helmets come in a dozen different colors, so we can get you just the right match for your bike or your outfit….

Classic Wool Jersey

Perfect for 45-70 degree temperature

Wool is the perfect material for cycling apparel.

It will keep you comfortable in a broader range of temperatures than any other fabric. Wool doesn’t accumulate odors the way that synthetics can. It repels rain for quite a while, and when it does get saturated, it keeps on insulating you from the cold. Plus, when you are clomping around in your favorite coffee shop post-ride you look stylish. No need to be an eyesore when you are off the bike…

Our wool jerseys and sweaters are made for us by the good folks at Oregon Cyclewear. They come in slimming black, grey and blue, Colnago red or Shamrock green. They all have ”Classic Cycle” on the front and “Bainbridge Island, Washington” in flocked lettering on the back. The long sleeve jerseys come with a single zippered rear pocket, while the short sleeved version have three buttoned back pockets. Our badge is embroidered on the left sleeves.

Classic style from Bainbridge Island, Washington

Classic sleeve detail

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that wool is too hot to wear while exercising. It really works well, even in hot temperatures. And who are we kidding anyway? The extreme temperature range that cyclists have to deal with here in western Washington is 45 to 65 degrees. For 11 months of the year.

Cool Weather Clothing

The colder (and wetter) weather is here. No need to worry. Don’t put your bike away. Come in to the shop and get yourself some new clothes.

Lots of rain gear from Endura in stock.

Endura has the Stealth jacket. Softshell design, with ultrasonic welded seams and completely waterproof yet breathable fabric. The Stealth is great for riding eight months of the year around here, you can vary your temperature with a multitude of vents, yet it won’t flap like a parachute while you ride. It’s a personal favorite of Paul’s, and was a design award winner at Eurobike.

Jaime is a big fan of convertible jackets and jerseys, and she has picked a bunch of great designs to help you stay comfortable as the weather changes.

Pearl Izumi Pro Barrier WXB

Sugoi Versa jacket converts to a vest

Try the Elite Barrier Jacket from Pearl Izumi or the Pazzo jacket from Castelli. They have zip-off sleeves for when the 45 degree morning commute turns into the 70 degree afternoon ride. Sugoi has the popular Versa jacket for the gals, with magnetic snaps holding the bolero top to the vest underneath.

If you are a commuter and just need rain gear to get you to and from the office, we have you covered. Really.

Rain jackets and pants

Winter shoes and waterproof shoe covers

Gloves, knee, arm & leg warmers and base layers

Rain jackets and pants from Castelli, Endura, and Sugoi will keep you comfortable and dry. We have helmet covers, headbands, caps, and balaclavas when you need them. Waterproof gloves and shoe covers for a variety of temperatures.

Vittoria Cycling Shoes

The Classic 1976 in SPD or Look style

Vittoria has been making cycling shoes by hand for over thirty-five years now. They offer custom quality Italian shoes for sometimes half the cost of their compatriots (we’re talking about you, Sidi). Vittoria makes their shoes in standard widths as well as extra wide or extra narrow widths. You can get shoes with Velcro closures, laces or ratchets, take your pick. Garish racing colors or sedate styles, whatever you want. We stock a complete size run of a couple different models, and we will happily order versions that we don’t stock.

Anything custom costs you an additional $15, and you’ll get them straight from Italy.

Cycling socks

Sock Guy "Turbo Wool" in black

Technical Pearl Izumi and Castelli socks

Cycling socks? That seems a little too specific. Do you really need special socks to go ride your bike?

Well, no. But the socks we have here at Classic Cycle can help make your riding more comfortable. Cycling socks are usually on the thinner side, and are designed to deal with moisture and extreme temperature range. If you are riding with various comfort issues, sometimes the right pair of socks can fix the problem.

Choose short cool socks

Choose tall wool socks

Consider cold feet. Cotton socks have poor moisture wicking and insulating qualities, and wool cycling socks are often the answer. Hot spots on the soles of your feet? Before we take a look at new pedals, how about ditching those thin dress socks you’re riding in and get something with more cushion. Knee or hip pain? Sometimes it’s not the bike or your position on it. It could be your super-thick socks and cycling shoes that are a size or two too big.

We stock some awesome socks from Pearl Izumi, Endura, Castelli, and Sock Guy.

Cycling Caps

Classic Cycling Cap

A variety of wool caps

Cycling caps have been around since the 1940′s. They provide extra warmth when needed, the brims can be flipped up out of the way if they obscure your vision, or taken off and stuffed in a jersey pocket when not being worn.

The greatest thing about cycling caps are the obscure places, products, and teams they represent. We have a vast selection of modern and retro style cycling caps to choose from.

Retro team caps like Peugeot, Renault, Molteni, 7-Eleven, and Panasonic

Iconic caps to wear for riding and playing hoops

Beer caps from Tecate, Full Sail, PBR, Hamm's, Red Stripe, and more

We of course have a Classic Cycle cap. You can also choose your favorite from our beer brand collection, retro racing team collection, and our vast selection of wool caps.

Little Alex rides in style

Our jerseys make great gifts for cyclists visiting from other parts of the country. They come in Seattle Roof Moss Green, coffee black, and overcast-sky white. Besides our dumb logo, you know where they came from since they have a little Bainbridge Island map on the back pocket.

Cycling Gloves

Classic crochet-back style

Gloves for women, men and kids

A good pair of cycling gloves can do a lot for you.

Pick a pair of gloves with the right density and placement of the padding, and they can really boost your comfort on long rides. Folks with carpal tunnel or other nerve issue in their hands and arms can find that the right pair of gloves will lessen or aleviate all of their symptoms while cycling.

Gel padding for extra shock absorption

Waterproof gloves for different temperatures

Choose minimal padding or extra cushion

We live in a chilly part of the state, so most people understand that you need cool weather gloves to cover a wide temperature range. You need a glove for everything from breezy July morning (54 degrees) to misty and cool April afternoon (43 degrees) to a rainy and bone-chilling November evening (just above freezing).

Cold weather gloves in stock all year long

Gloves for little kids too

You know what they say about things that fit like a glove, so make sure you pick the right size. We have a selection for women, men, and kids to choose from. Cycling gloves from Castelli, Endura, Bontrager, and Pearl Izumi are in the store today.

Baseball Hats

Classic Hats

Bulkhead Sportswear over in Gig Harbor makes these neat embroidered baseball caps for us. They are made of nice brushed cotton fabric, have a classic shape, and are available in a variety of colors.

Features include a visor that will keep rain from dripping on your nose (in other parts of the world they apparently use visors for the blocking of sunshine), our shop logo to remind you to ride your bicycle at regular intervals, and an adjustment band in the back to make the caps head-sized.

Not old.... Classic.

While we don’t condone the the playing of baseball (even if you’re wearing our cap) on sunny summer days when you could be out riding your bike, we understand that these hats can be used as head coverings for many different occasions. Wear them to weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, graduations and funerals. They’re the perfect head gear on a night out at the opera, while mowing the lawn, or while digging for clams…

Souvenir Seattle & Bainbridge Island Cycling Jerseys

Seattle Jersey (commemorating our 3 sunny days each year)

Bainbridge Island souvenir jersey with the ferries and Mt. Rainier

Besides our own Classic Cycle gear, we try to have some souvenir and gift items for cyclists.

If you are visiting the Seattle area, why not take home a small piece of Pacific Northwest cycling? Grab our Bainbridge Island or Seattle bike jersey.

Want a piece of the Pacific Northwest, but don’t live here? We will ship our Classic Cycle gear and souvenir Seattle and Bainbridge jerseys to you. Call for current stock and prices.

Seattle kids' jersey

For the college alumni out there you can get some University of Washington gear or proudly ride in your WSU cycling jersey.

There’s a Seattle jersey for the kids (our shop jerseys come in kids’ sizes as well), and we can get you other college gear if you didn’t go to a Washington school (Go Gophers!).

Classic Cycle Cycling Cap

Classic Cycling Cap

Wear it solo or under a helmet

Our cycling cap is made of the same fabrics as Champion System uses in their cycling jackets. It’s not cotton, so these caps don’t get waterlogged with rain or sweat. The visor uses a foam insert, not cardboard, which means that these caps can be machine washed without getting ruined. They come in black with our chainring logo on both sides of the brim.

Endura

We stock Endura rain gear and clothing at Classic Cycle for three reasons. One, Endura makes great clothing that looks good on you. Two, Endura makes tough clothing that will last you for years. Three, Endura sells their clothing for reasonable prices. Usually with clothing you only get to pick two out of those three features.

Terry

The Terry line of womens’ cycling apparel is stylish and comfortable. Designing a cycling jersey for a woman does not mean just making it in pink, and Terry knows this. Terry clothing is cut to enhance your riding experience, and designed to disprove the notion that all cycling clothing is unflattering in appearance.

Sugoi

Sugoi Versa Jacket

Sugoi’s innovative and stylish clothing has long been shop favorites. If you have ever asked someone “Hey, who makes that ___ you’re wearing?” The answer always seems to be “Sugoi”. The cool convertable Versa jacket. The stylish spin class clothes. The comfortable-looking and flattering cycling tights. Chances are, Sugoi made them.

Castelli

Castelli has been making great quality cycling apparel, with a touch of Italian style, since 1974. We stock a wide selection of Castelli clothing here at Classic Cycle. They make clothing with the highest quality fabrics and design garments to fit well both on and off the bike. While there are a number of high-end cycling clothing companies that make garments of similar quality, Castelli is one of the few who sells them for realistic, reasonable prices.

Classic Socks

"Turbo Wool" in black

Sockguy makes these wonderful socks for us. They’re wool, they come in a couple of sizes, and have our happy logo on them. By the way, everyone loses socks, so these come with great mailing instructions on the sole in case someone finds your rogue sock…”If found, please return to Bainbridge Island, Washington”….

We can’t make all of this happen through a website.
If you want a new bike, come in to Classic Cycle. Talk to us. Touch the bicycles. You can ride around Winslow, and see what the different models have to offer.
Come in to the shop, and Gavin will make some adjustments to the bike to make it fit just right (and tell you about the time he won that race in Sicily while he’s at it).
Sit at our bar and watch bike racing on the television or experience a bit of our little museum.
Spend some time here so that Jaime can show you clothing and accessories that will resolve the little issues that nag at you while you ride.
Paul will assemble your bike with the same attention to detail that went into building bikes for two Olympic Games and countless professional racers.
Leave the UPS guy alone. He can’t help you put that mail-order bike together…
